Answer:

the desired equation is y = -2x - 16

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope. Thus, the new line must begin with

y = -2x and end with +b, where b is the y-intercept.

If the new line is to pass through (-8, 0), then y = -2x + b becomes

0 = -2(-8) + b, or b = -16,

and so the desired equation is y = -2x - 16.
